Thailand draft national oil plan to promote SAF
In Thailand, Bangkok Post reported that energy officials are drafting a new national oil plan to cover the development of sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to support the aviation industry’s goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. “We are working on factors that can make SAF another mainstream fuel as well as support domestic production of this biofuel,” said Patteera Saipratumtip, deputy director-general of the Department of Energy Business. An investment incentive proposal for SAF manufacturing should be completed in early 2024, the official said. In Thailand, Bangchak Corp. and Energy Absolute Plc have announced plans to produce SAF from used cooking oil, according to the report. National oil and gas conglomerate PTT Plc announced in 2023 its subsidiary PTT Oil and Retail Business Plc partnered with national flag carrier Thai Airways International (THAI) to pilot SAF usage for a flight between Bangkok and Phuket.
